Las Positas College (LPC) is partnering with the Tri-Valley Nonprofit Alliance (TVNPA), which helps organizations throughout the Bay Area connect and create alliances with peers, to give professionals in the nonprofit sector access to specialized educational resources and training opportunities.
The Chabot-Las Positas Community College Board of Trustees approved the partnership at their Aug. 18 meeting, opening new pathways for students and professionals to fundamental learning and advanced intensive courses through TVNPA.
“We are very excited about this new partnership because of the many new opportunities it offers our students,” said Vicki Shipman, LPC career technical education project manager. “We believe that the skills and strategies shared during TVNPA’s fall sessions will work in tandem with our new certificate program.”
With the new Nonprofit Management certificate program — which TVNPA said is “tentatively set to begin in 2021” — students will learn about “the fundamentals of managing a nonprofit organization, including finance, legal, operations, marketing, board development and the basics of fundraising.” A new Philanthropy Institute training series designed to complement the Nonprofit Management certificate is also set to launch in fall.
“Our passion is bringing nonprofit professionals together in a supportive, educational environment where they can enhance their skills and learn from others,” said Kathy Young, TVNPA CEO and president. “We are delighted to partner with LPC. Students will be able to earn a Nonprofit Management certificate through LPC, and CFRE (Certified Fundraising Executive) credits through TVNPA’s new Philanthropy Institute.”
More details about the programs will be shared soon, officials said. To learn more, visit tvnpa.org.
